INTRODUCTION ABOUT PRACTIN 4MG TABLET
PRACTIN 4MG TABLET contains cyproheptadine, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antihistamines. It is used in the management of allergic conditions such as seasonal and perineal rhinitis, hay fever, skin rashes, and allergic conjunctivitis.
Perennial rhinitis refers to specific allergens that cause an allergic reaction year-round, such as pet hair or dander, food allergies, or medicines. Whereas, seasonal allergies typically occur with weather changes or environmental changes such as pollen, insects, moisture, dryness, fungi, mold, etc.
